use a tee piece in the supply to the gauge.. no probs..
the pump theory....... YEP!
the tb is often considered a culprit in flow dynamics.. dont be too sure its causing a problem.. the lumenition tbs with roller valves (NO SPINDLE !) are only showing 2 bhp at 285 !..... a mere non-entity...
Yo Nick..
didnt know you were a teacher.. Nice one dood..
Money is an illusion dont forget ...
the more ya have, the more ya spend.. when ya have to scrimp n save to do what makes ya happy.. you are happier...
Captn goes philosophical LOL..
I went from 19-25 l in one year... 25-31...
I love being called a dork lol.. makes all those evenings worthwhile heehee
Is the graph on Cliosport ??. I have seen a similar thing somewhere ???
that Sir, is a bloody good methodology.. I like it..
in a dork like way LOL

Hi Nick..
I believe the problem with the masturbatell engines (Wankel) were that the engines were, and probably still are - ahead of their time..
they suffered tip seal failures and the materials were not the best.. even now. the rotary has suffered due to the green rush.. it is probably...
sorry, yes, Nick.. it IS controlled by the ECU I think.. it is possible that it has its own controller.. but that would fall outside renos strategy of combining everything including the rear wiper (seriously !) into the ecu..

Hiya Nick..
the concept IS a bit wierd aint it
the pump UNIT (containing the reg) can sense the pressure in the single line.
as fuel is injected, the pressure would normally drop, but, as the pump has reserve quantity as a buffer, and, the speed of the pump and regulator pressure(we...

Your abbreviations are beyond me. what WOT?
Wide Open Throttle - this is often where the efi system uses a simple look up table and not math !!.. the Lamda is bypassed too.. this can only be altered by reprogramming the ecu or adding fuel pressure (or more fuel)...

so..
if a flame 172 comes off the road near you.. it may be a red ditch(ed) in Redditch ??
If everyone had a flame one.. britain would be a red carnation too..
LOL

Oh Ben,
one major point.. if your mods cause leaning out at the top end.. be very careful.. you CANNOT add a fuel pressure reg (ie Rising Rate) to compensate due to the non return system.
the Pressure MAY be adjustable electronically in the integrated reg on the fuel pump in the tank...

ak, absolutely, the hill power is good kit.. as all of Nicks stuff is.
there is possbily more to gain if Nick can sort the lean mix out at WOT.
Nick tests his stuff, piper just seem to want to make money.
if there is a test done on the piper that shows an improvement, then cool.. but...

Hi Ben,
the norm is for full throttle look for about 5% that will keep the engine safe. When Nick Hill tested his superb airbox system, it was found that the mix was leaning out to unsafe quantities at WOT.. better watch that one.! as for other techy stuff.. I wil sell ya me mother if ya can...

Hi Ben.. errrrrr, well... not a lot to report actually, a very quick test revealed nothing different really
it may be noticable with a dyno or on fuel consumption, but I am baffled.
I would be interested to know your findings.
I have not spent much time on this, but first result was...
